I hope Mark Zuckerberg has reflected on how much he has changed over the decades. He originally wanted to build a social network, borne out of a 4chan style sense of 'fuck the man' and do cool things that improve the world. But instead, he's created a vehicle to harm the world--to take from the poor, and to give to the McKinsey alums who've infected and ruined his business for their own personal gain. He could have done it the right way, but he chose to let them do this to his company. What was even the point of burning Eduardo or the Winklevosses if he just in turn handed the keys over to even shittier people?
- cwkoss 4y ago> borne out of a 4chan style sense of 'fuck the man' and do cool things that improve the world Has zuckerberg ever been subversive? I thought he started facebook out of horniness and desire for power, and that pretty seamlessly morphed into greed and lust for more power. What 'fuck the man' things has zuck done?
- kolbe 4y agoI think Facemash was quintessentially 4chan style fuck-the-man. He hacked every Harvard house directory to make some highly offensive web tool. What he did to the Winkelvoss jocks certainly had an element of not wanting to play ball with the aristocracy.
- Bakary 4y agoThis is an oddly generous characterization of Zuckerberg, probably borne out of the optimism of the era when the networks were getting started. Keep in mind that this is the same person who called people who handed over their data to him as dumb fucks. A person who models their life around Augustus is most definitely not a fuck the man type of person. Besides, being a Harvard student is not exactly a rebellious choice to begin with. There is no circumstancial evidence to paint him as a subversive and plenty that paints him as the opposite, but I suppose we'd have to know him a bit better to understand him properly.
